Enjoy man...it is seriously a blast. A lot of people are talking shit about the V6, but Ford is not stupid. They really did good with that thing because it kills on and off the road. Absolutely no problem with power and sounds great.
Just lucky to be part of the Raptor club now.
I got them pretty deep in there on a jump that my group was not recording, but I wouldn't want to find out how much deeper they can go. That was MORE than a blast. This thing is outrageously fun.
Here is a video with my jumping. No rubbing at all during landing.

No Rubbing at all during jump...check it out.

Ease into articulation. When you are at full articulation it only rubs the front side of the inside fender due to a little extra piece that sticks out on there. Nothing to worry about at all though.
Over the weekend, I jumped it and there is absolutely no issue with rubbing, so it was a...
Good News guys...I tested out the Method wheels (stock tires) on my truck at FULL articulation in the back and there is little to no rubbing. To be honest, based on videos I have seen, I think the stock wheels would have rubbed in the same place too.
Bottom line, it is nothing to be concerned...
That is EXACTLY what I plan on doing at King of the Hammers this Thursday, but I don't want to drop off my brand new fenders while experimenting. HAHA!
Thanks for the feedback. If anyone else has some more first hand experience, let me know!

Ya. I just bought the 2017 Raptor and put the methods on. Going off roading this weekend and don't want to rip my fenders off. The methods stick out a little bit (about 1.5"), so I hope there are no issues.
So you jump and get those wheels deep under the fender with no issues at all?
Do these rub when articulating or jumps? I know they are zero offset.

Looks Badass! Methods are a 0 offset. Do these wheels rub at full articulation or jump landing? I just put the NV's on and haven't...
Ya...that's what I was thinking. Possibly will need to do some trimming of the inside to compensate because these new raptors flex A LOT! Don't want to risk damaging the truck when having fun.
I put stock size methods on my 17, but the offset is 0 compared to the +34 of the stock wheel. Will I have any rubbing issues at full articulation or while jumping?
Have you tested your size wheels at full articulation?
